“Let’s go,” Jiu Ming said with one hand behind his back. There was a bright smile on that handsome but evil face. “Return to Paramount in Liu Yun Kingdom.”

“Yes, Young Master.” The elder greeted him, respectfully.

But he was slightly shocked when he saw Jiu Ming’s face.

The young master had never taken down the mask. He had developed this habit over the years.

So, why after visiting Fengyun Manor…

He was willing to show other people his true face?

“Young Master, I don’t understand.” The elder frowned slightly. “Why do you protect Feng Ruqing? And even take the risk of fighting against the master?”

The young master had recently acted against the master more than once for Feng Ruqing. No matter how the master persuaded him to return to Deities Gate, he still refused and ignored it.

Jiu Ming paused in his steps. “Since I am her business partner, I will not let anyone hurt her.”

The elder smiled bitterly. “It seems to me that you don’t just treat her as simple as a friend, let alone a business partner.”

Jiu Ming turned his back to the elder behind him. He stared at the rising sun not far away.

His actions… was he really that obvious?

But the girl did not notice anything.

It was better like this. At least being her business partner, she would not alienate him in her life.

“What can be said; what can’t be said, you should know very well.” Jiu Ming’s eyes glanced at the elder. “Most importantly… don’t let her know.”

The elder was speechless.

Should the young master not worry about letting the master know about it?

Why did he only worry that Feng Ruqing will know about it?

Under normal circumstances, should a man not chase the woman he was in love with? Why did he not want to let her know?

“Young Master, you are a great man. If you like her, why not tell her? Maybe…”

Jiu Ming’s eyes darkened. “Because the woman I like is not a half-hearted person. Xiao Qing’er already loves someone else. Unless she abandons that guy first, I will only cause her more trouble.”

How could the woman he loved be half-hearted? If that was the case, how was that different from any other ordinary woman?

“Furthermore, Xiao Qing’er is also a great woman.” Jiu Ming smirked. “Not only is she talented, but she also has a very good background. No one can match compare to her. The Mu family will regret treating her like this sooner or later!”

The elder was stunned. “Young Master, I know that the princess is very talented, but her background… Although Fengyun Manor is ranked among the top ones in the reclusive world, it is an overstatement to say that no one can compare to her. There is still the Divine Herbs Sect, Tian Shen Manor, and Deities Gate which are above Fengyun Manor.”

“You’re wrong.” Jiu Ming shook his head. “Xiao Qing’er… was Tian Ya’s descendant.”

Tian Ya…

Young people might not be familiar with this name, but to the older generation, it was a nightmare.

Jiu Ming was just born when Tian Ya had left. However, he was always searching more about Tian Ya after learning about that name.

These were what the three forces wanted to know!

“Young Master…” The elder’s lips were trembling. He was shocked. “You said… she… she is Tian Ya’s descendant?”

“Yes.” Jiu Ming smiled. “Ten years ago, the three forces were fearful of Tian Ya’s powerful strength. The reclusive world would have already been subverted that day if only there were not too many people.”
